When it comes to Maine born and bred musical performers, few stand out with such consistent grace, integrity and talent as singer/songwriter David Mallett. He’s recorded 14 albums over the decades of his career, and has had his songs recorded and performed by such diverse artists as Pete Seeger, Alison Krauss, John Denver and The Muppets. His insightful songs reflect the heart and soul of our state as few others and convey what it means to live and work here. It is always a pleasure to chat with him as I did in February when he talked about his life and his music — which are pretty inseparable, as it turns out.
